Now that you mention screensize, I can reproduce it resizing 
the screen, but resizing back to what 'resize' reported doesn't 
fix it.

Yes, it's because I uninstalled the old from /usr/X11R6 and 
installed the new in /usr/local. I'll fix this. But it also 
happens in a console and other X terminals.

Spawning your default shell.  Use 'exit' to return to Lynx.

pervalidus:~$ resize
COLUMNS=80;
LINES=24;
export COLUMNS LINES;

Running from screen it returns 23 lines, from the console 25, 
and from screen on the console 24. Should it always return 25?
